Embedded Platform Lab

(2026.3.06)  推甄/考試生: 連絡我們以前，先觀看影片 (1 小時 6 分鐘 華語發音)介紹EPL研究。面談時間預設是每週一 10:00-12:00，週三 10:00-16:00，不過必須先 email professor and CC 給 contact window  預約，因為每週會有變動。可以實體或 conference call.  Email須附成績單、作品集。面談時必須能清楚說明自己的強項、和如何能夠對Sysmaker計畫做出什麼貢獻。

(2026.3.06) I can still take 專題生 this year.  See 專題區 for report requirements.

EPL specializes in the development of platforms for embedded system, particularly compact, wearable wireless sensors. A platform is reusable hardware and software designs that can be used to quickly construct various embedded systems.

The current active research topics at EPL include issues related to low-power system design, development tools, proximity sensing and tracking, (distributed) access control, and smart energy.
